This episode really helped me to locate myself both in the season wheel and also in our lunar moment. Thanks for sharing your voice!

My pleasure! Yay - I love how the overlapping of cycles helps us orient to the present moment in different ways. Like the microscope and telescope.

This was a beautiful and thought-provoking episode! Thank you so much, April! I've been learning, observing, and keeping my lunar tracking journal quietly, but your insights, teachings, and understanding of the lunar cycles has been SO influential to me. My chart is ruled by the Moon (Cancer Rising!), so I have been finding so much peace and resonance following the Moon rather than the Sun. The Moon is much more gentle for me. Thank you so much for all the work you put into teaching and your gorgeous artwork! I love it!

I just had a question regarding the lunar gestational cycle. How do you know which cycles to follow? I'm also a Virgo Moon (🙌) so this Lunar Eclipse/Cycle in Virgo is clearly very important, but otherwise how would one go about discerning which gestation period to observe? Thank you so much!

Such a great Virgo word - discernment! Since all four of the main phases are a part of a moon seed family (aka LGC) you could track any one where a significant life event occurs on or around that phase.

For example, if something extra meaningful falls on a last quarter moon, it would be worth tracking it back to the new moon seed. A lot of this technique is used in hindsight to help connect the dots. It's almost feels like a secret to pulling back the curtain to see how the magic or healing journey is unfolding. Illuminating the breadcrumbs.

You could also follow the moons in your S/M/Asc signs. Thanks for your kind words about this episode, and I hope this helps! Lmk if another question arises!
